Josh McGaffigan

Staff Reviewer and Writer

Having worked in various trades spanning the automotive, cilvil engineering, concrete, and metalworking trades, Josh brings a practical, deep, and diverse knowledge of tools to Pro Tool Reviews. His experiences range from core drilling commercial properties for purposes of surveying to diagnosing and repairing luxury consumer vehicles.

With over two decades of practical tool experience under his belt, Josh personally handles a variety of hands-on power tool and accessory reviews for PTR while also heading up our head-to-head tool comparisons and testing. He works closely with Austin on our video team to produce engaging and informative videos and demonstrations to help our readers and viewers understand the standout features in new tools and how those tools fit into the existing ecosystem of available products.

Josh’s knowledge and love of tools are exceeded only by a greater love for his wife and family. A fan of all things that can stretch him mentally, Josh loves to dive into new tools and product testing with ample amounts of both enthusiasm and precision—both behind the scenes and in front of the cameras. He looks forward to many years of growth with Pro Tool Reviews and helping expand the reach of the website and our Youtube channel.
